3.3 System Memory Configuration
The MN31L mainboard has three 184-pin DIMM slots that allow you to
install from 128MB up to 3GB of system memory. Each 184-pin DIMM (Dual
In-line Memory Module) slot can accommdate 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, and
1GB of PC1600/PC2100/PC2700/PC3200 compliant 2.5V single or double
side 64-bit wide data path DDR SDRAM modules. You do not need to set
any jumper to configure memory since the BIOS utility can detect the system
memory automatically. You can check the total system memory value in the
BIOS Standard CMOS Setup menu.
1. Install Memory:
Install memory in any or all of the banks. The combination shown as follows.
Note: The total installed memory does not exceed 3GB.
Note: Installing a DIMM in one of the three slots leads to a 64-bit
data transfer rate. If you are about to install additional DIMMs,
install them in any of the following sequences to activize a
dual-channel feature of a 128-bit data transfer rate:
Ø
DIMMs 1 & 3,
Ø
DIMMs 2 & 3, or
Ø
DIMMs 1 & 2 & 3.
2. Upgrade Memory:
You can easily upgrade the system memory by inserting additional DDR
SDRAM modules in available DIMM banks. The total system memory is
calculated by simply adding up the memory in all DIMM banks. After up-
grade, the new system memory value will automatically be computed and
displayed in the field "Standard CMOS Setup" of BIOS setup program.
